Happy Year of the Monkey

Hello everyone, it's been a long time since I've posted on my blog! 2016 will be a year full of catch-up and productivity. I'll start off by wishing everyone a happy and prosperous new year. 2016 is the Year of the Monkey and much like the energetic and
unpredictable monkey this year will be a wild ride. I'm looking forward
to it.

This is a detail shot of my newest crayon work. I'm very excited to incorporate different colors to my carvings. I started to work on another Zodiac set, this time in technicolor!

These are the Crayola crayons I used for this carving:
Monkey's body and base crayon: Tan
face and ears: Tumbleweed
face features: Black
peach: Salmon
foliage: Olive Green and Green
rocks: Timberwolf

If you're in Seattle, please come out to "Seattle Simplified", it's a showcase of recently acquired artwork by Seattle City Lights. It's on view right now at the Seattle Municipal Tower Gallery.
